I really don't know why Capcom buffed his assists so much. Sentinel Drones are going to be this game's Doom Rocks I swear. Also, you were the first Zero I encountered to actually use Hienkyaku mixups (In MvC3) and that really caught me offguard rofl, and I kinda lucked out the one match I actually beat you with DP up. Speaking of which what situations using Sougenmu would actually create a true unblockable? I'm curious. Nah, reading the Zero forums right now, apparently Zero by himself with Sougenmu can create his own unblockables. Having a low hitting assist is just overkill, Plus, his team becomes considerably beefier with Sentinel rather than mega-ultra lightweight Phoenix, who even in DP mode is extremely suspectable to being random'd out by a lucky super (Like I have been several times :/) Also, Doom Missiles with Zero is fucking deadly, doing it at the beginning of a blockstring keeps you completely safe even if you get hit because the missiles will come down and hit your opponent. It's basicially better than Doom rocks for certain characters.

This X100 times. The Vs series is probably the most unforgiving fighting series out therem when the huge droves it tends to attracts many an anus are not prepared for what's to come I just feel like having two projectile assists are a waste, also you're absolutely correct on a plethora of safe DHC options assuming Mags is on point.

I've seen several people trying to work Magneto/Storm/Sentinel, and fail miserably. TBH I don't think their sets of assist pair well with each other. I use Mags/Sent/Taskmaster because Task's Vertical Arrow Assist is so damn versatile.

Sweet mother of the Odindick this. I'm surprised more people haven't caught onto this, It's so freaking gdlk. At first I was like:psyduck: then I lol'd :yaaay:

There are a few select characters that have command overheads (Deadpool, SS, Spencer) but usually certain characters have mixup gimmicks like Magnetos deceptively quick Fly-j.S overhead that force their opponents to be on their toes or die.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but there's an assload of phoenixes online. I've yet to see a single one do anything other than spam her jabs/magicseries and random Phoenix Infernos. Usually paired with Sentinels, which IMO doesn't make too much sense considering 50Sent can be a massive meter hog. Thanks to my nigger-ness I think I'm actually somewhat decent at the game after like 340+ matches played (86% win rate). Ranked is still a clusterfuck of random spammers of one-trick ponies (Oh boy, Hadengeki mixups, like I haven't seen and been blocking those the past year or so in TvC) With the occasional kick-ass player but it's getting there, and Player Matches tend to be lol and where I train characters I hope to use in the future. I HATE how Player lobbies are done, I get to watch two ID cards hump each other for about 5-10 minutes until it's my turn and have to deal with 1 second input lag. Personally, I think everyone in the game has a claim to be absolutely ridiculous, yes, even Ryu. Obviously some stick out more than others but I won't say any names (Except Sentinel) We'll see who ends up winning the eventual arms race that is the game evolving (They've even already found the game's first true infinite in Akuma's J.S air tatsu loop.) but as for now at MvC3's base metagame prepare for a shitload of Sentinel. Personally I think anyone with a teleport fucks his game up hard but obviously the Sentinel player can account for that.. EDIT: Also, fuck Capcom, the RQ counter system is still horrible. I still play the same people over and over who continue to ragequit and I've yet to see anything happen about it. It's a failure just like TvC in my eyes. MOAR EDIT: Hsien-Ko's Armor Assist is sweet, but some people need to realize she STILL takes damage. I've literally killed a couple through sheer damage because they got hit by Legion Arrow/HSF supers trying to chip them down.

I want everyone to be #Reload Eddie levels of broken. Even the more plain characters like Ryu/Cap America etc. When you make everyone broken, everyone stands a fighting chance one way or another. I can see why the GG vets are in this line of thinking.

I lol'd

It already is. Have you SEEN the MVC3 boards at srk?

Some of these changes make me think otherwise Zong lol. Stay Godlike Zong. Stay fuckin Godlike

Hate to admit it as a Tager player, but he's nearly as overplayed as Ragna and bitched about as much. Seeing ASW's balance direction for BB, this does not bode well for him.

Yeah, the smattering of nerfs this magnitude just reeks of ASW likely not changing much despite testing opinions. I have to see it to believe it. When is the next loketest?

At this rate Ragna's gonna make CS Rachel look godlike. Like holy shit, he wasn't even THAT great to begin with. This is just trolling hardcore.

Assuming Bang>Litchi, It's kinda ironic that Bang got hit the least, yet Ragna got absolutely smattered with nerfs. So much for America's big 3 :/

That's the problem. It's not a tight string. Major DP bait.

Depending on how long the super armor frames are and if they hold through the delay, it could even be used to bait DPs ongadget finger wakeup, making it a lot safer and more reward opportunities.

I don't agree with this. Getting characters so balanced that almost everything is 5-5 is a pipedream, yea. But it definitely should be the aim of FG deva to make it so hat the gaps between characters aren't something that a little skill can overcome. A game doesn't have to be out the ass broken to be fun.

Wasn't it OS v Potemkin? Or Eddie v Potemkin?

Shiiiiit nigga. This is the stuff we're talking about. Solid features like this will make Tager good. Not shit like magnetism gimmicks.

Just how far will they fall? Ragna was already dropping like a rock before any of this loketest stuff, and from the looks of things he got hit the hardest of the 3 :/

Yeah, I didn't expect changes of THIS magnitude. It's truly going to be a whole new game.

Depends on how is mixup is, but yeah after all these damage nerds I'm sure he won't stay like that.

:3

Wow, those are the exact opposite changes BB needed. Less untouchables. Fail.

That's kind of the point of a nerf
